ffplayout

ffplayout is a 24/7 broadcasting automation system built with Rust and FFmpeg, designed to continuously stream audio or video content from playlists or directories. It enables users to schedule daily playlists using JSON files while keeping them editable during playback, allowing dynamic control over broadcasts. The system can also operate in folder-based mode, automatically playing media files in sequence or loop. It supports streaming output to servers or local playback environments, making it suitable for radio, TV, or online channels. ffplayout includes fallback mechanisms that replace missing content with filler clips or generated placeholders to maintain uninterrupted streams. It also offers overlay features such as logos and text, along with logging and monitoring capabilities. Overall, it provides a robust and lightweight solution for automated media broadcasting workflows.
